Fraase Farm was great. I went there with a group in town for a workshop at SIU. We had a catered…read moredinner and wine. The food was phenomenal. I was literally uncomfortable (and perhaps a bit tipsy) on the bus ride home from imbibing a bit too much. Speaking of the bus ride, it does take some time to get there. However, if you are from out of town like I was, it was neat to see the farm lands that stretch on and on while on the ride. I didn't really see inside the building or much of the grounds, but the food is top notch. I would highly recommend this place to take a group to have a catered dinner and fun ambiance.

However, inside felt like any other wedding hall - great table settings and clean bathrooms. Cons: I asked for a J&B on the rocks and a corona*, but sadly they were out of corona even though it was on the beer list. Drinks were slightly pricey for downstate IL. Another minor gripe is that it seemed that the people working there seemed to be pushing everyone out as the night was ending. Advice to the management - move the dumpster away from the main entrance to the rear lot if possible. Otherwise, a solid 4 stars. *some of you may get the reference

Not only is the facility in a great downtown location (which was not that important to me) but the grounds are well kept, and upon further observation the surrounding neighborhood's yards are also very well kept. Plenty of parking when I arrived. The instructions that were sent via email are very detailed, not one thing was left out. Be aware that there is no live human being to check you in or out...think of it almost like an airbnb because you get a contactless check in with key code for the door. Arrive and Thrive Co is the company out of Cali that manages this property, they are super helpful and responsive via email but when I have tried to call them I haven't been able to reach a human being. James was the main contact who was very helpful during my two stays. He also recommended another property they manage (The Audrey apartments) which I also stayed at for one evening and was stellar overall. There is no food service at the rooms in the Pasfield House other than you can order 24 hours ahead of time via an app. If you are short on time, and don't know your way around, I highly recommend the avocado and toast breakfast. It was super convenient, I was staying two nights in the George and ordered breakfast for my second morning. The housekeeping staff put the box breakfast in my mini fridge the afternoon prior. For $14 it was a good deal, with two pieces of multigrain bread, avocado spread, 2 hard boiled eggs, an orange and juice. They also put out a toaster for me. There are two tiny ice machines on the second floor which comes in handy. The building was very quiet both times I stayed. The rooms especially the bathrooms are nicely kept and the bathrooms have been renovated. I liked the Hive because there was a trundle bed in the living room and a nice sized kitchen, plus a large master bedroom. Plenty of room for two people and very comfortable. Beautifully decorated living rooms and bedrooms, loved the history of the building. I was very pleased with my stays and I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Springfield. Yes it is a bit more pricey than the standard chain hotels but it is worth it! SO CLEAN.

Instead, go in through the main lobby, where the stairs are wider. We stayed in "the nest". It had a nice balcony, but the door was quite a hassle to open and close. The bed was comfortable, except the middle had a gorge or you could sink into. So if you like the person you're sleeping with it's perfect. There is plenty of parking! This is a refreshing change from roadside motels and crappy Airbnb's. Recommend staying here. It's nice not crowded and quiet. There is a distant train horn that may remind you of when you grew up in the country.

It is reassuring to know that the owner is committed to providing the best of service and that one can rent with this assurance.

The beds were comfortable, the AC was working wonderfully and the room is fairly quiet. we could hear the person above us walking around in the morning, but I guess that's to be expected. We very much enjoyed the complementary breakfast in the morning. We got there about 15 minutes before it was to close and they kept it open at at least 10 minutes after that for us and others that were late getting down there that day. I thought that was a classy move. You don't get one minute past closing time at a Hampton Inn. The staff here was absolutely extraordinary! Everyone, from management to the front desk to housekeeping was incredibly kind and accommodating. We were absolutely impressed and would return again in a heartbeat.
